The Return Of The God Level Assassin

LUO WEI TIANʼS attention was fully captured by this person calling himself the ʼDuke of Heartsʼ. He stared at this teenager with flamboyant clothing floating in the sky. ”Is he also a player?”

Shen Ji Yun, being the one currently closest to Luo Yanʼs father, answered, ”No, Uncle, heʼs an NPC.”

”Oh, you mean the inhabitants of this world?”

Well, thatʼs not entirely wrong, so Shen Ji Yun could only nod. Bai Ze, who was also near the two, only thought, ʼwhy does Uncle Tian talks like they are in an Isekai anime?ʼ.

Luo Wei Tian did not notice the weird reaction of the two to what he said and just stared at the NPC floating in the air. With how alive the otherʼs expression was, he would have never thought that the teenager was actually not a real person. He was truly amazed by just how far the technology of today had come.

No, he should probably express his admiration towards Shen Yi Mu and the whole Moonlight Media for being able to make a game with such vivid characters.

Looking again at the NPC, a thought flashed in his mind. What if- what if they could create an NPC based on a real person? With the same face and personality.

”Ji Yun, your uncle is a genius,” he said to the kid beside him.

Shen Ji Yun was a bit confused as to where this compliment came from. But he still responded, ”Yes, he is.”

”Maybe I should increase my investment to his company,” Luo Wei Tian said to no one in particular. Before turning to Shen Ji Yun again, planning to ask about the idea he just had. ”Do you think he would agree if I ask him to make an NPC based on someone?”

Before Shen Ji Yun could answer, Luo Ren had already walked to them and put his hand on his fatherʼs shoulder.

”Dad, letʼs just sit down. The tournament is already starting. Yan Yan and Xiao Jin will surely appear any minute now. You donʼt want to miss that, right?”

Luo Ren didnʼt wait for his father to answer and just led the other to one of the seats. He then sat between his father and Yu Jiao. He was glad that his father didnʼt actually insist on talking to Shen Ji Yun about the topic he opened to the other just now.

When he heard him asking about designing an NPC based on a person, he was sure that his father was talking about his late mother. Of course, Luo Ren had to stop that idea. Having an NPC that looked exactly like his mother didnʼt really feel right. It would also not be healthy for his father.

He knew that his father had never really moved on from his mother. The only reason he could continue on with his life was because he and his two brothers were still here. If that was not the case, then his motherʼs death would have truly broken his father.

If there would really be an NPC based on his mother, instead of being therapeutic, it could turn into something toxic instead. Like jumping into a rabbit hole and being unable to get out from it forever.

His thoughts were cut off when the Duke of Hearts spoke once again.

”The tournament this year has 16 participants. The rules are simple. There would be eight matches of 1v1. Killing your opponent or forcing them to admit defeat would guarantee oneʼs victory. In the off chance that the fight would last for 30 minutes, then, it would be automatically stopped and I would be the one to decide whoʼs the winner. All the eight winners tonight will move to the quarterfinals tomorrow,” the duke explained in a very clear-cut manner. ”As a gift to you plebeians, I will let you see the tournament bracket before the fight begins.”

After the duke said that, a huge virtual screen appeared in front of everyone. It was made in a way that every corner of the coliseum could see and read it.

The royal box of team Yunyue immediately looked for the name of Luo Yan and Luo Jin.

”Which one is Xiao Yan and Xiao Jin?” Luo Wei Tian asked.

Hearing this, Luo Ren remembered that they hadnʼt told their father about game names. Which was something the other didnʼt need to worry because of the special VR helmet he was using.

”Yan Yan is ʼNoctisʼ while Xiao Jin is—” he instinctively stopped. Because he couldnʼt, for the life of him, say his brotherʼs rather colorful game name.

The one who finished what he was about to say was a girlʼs voice, ”AmazingYoungMasterJin.”

Luo Ren turned to Su Yuqi, the one who just spoke, wondering how the other could say that game name with such an indifferent tone.

Luo Wei Tian also looked at the butterfly girl. It took a few moments before it finally registered on him what the girl said. And all he could think was;

”Why did Xiao Jin call himself that?” he asked, accidentally saying whatʼs on his mind.

”Uncle, I think Xiao Jin just probably ran out of names and just used that in a fit of frustration,” Bai Ze said, holding back his laughter.

”I think itʼs a cute name,” Su Yuqi commented. ”It perfectly fits Luo Jin.”

Shen Ji Yun didnʼt care much about what they were talking about. His eyes were on the tournament bracket, thinking that Luo Yanʼs fight would be the third match and itʼs against someone named ʼRosettaʼ.

The virtual screen disappeared and the Duke of Hearts appeared in front of everyoneʼs sight again.

”Now, letʼs all welcome the participants for the first match!” After the duke said that, two doors from the opposite side of the rink opened. ”Supreme King versus Lovelee!”

Two figures walked from the opposite sides and made their way to the rink. One was a muscular lion beastkin while the other was a petite fairy. The gap between the appearance of the two was pretty eye-catching.

”Let the battle begin!”

As soon as the duke shouted that, the two on the rink quickly began their attack.
